Finding objects

Hi,

Does anyone know a way to check if a scene contains a type of object. For example

if Scene contains Camera:
    print('yes')

not:

if scene contains 'Camera.001':
    print('yes')

Thanks
Tom

you could make a list of object types…


import bpy
types = [obj.type for obj in bpy.context.scene.objects]

for t in types: 
    print (t)
    
if "CAMERA" in types: print ("there is a camera")

Okay, so I’ve got this:

types = [obj.type for obj in bpy.data.scenes['Scene.001'].objects]
for t in types: 
    print (t)
 
if "CAMERA" in types:
    pass
else:
    bpy.data.cameras.new('Cam')

How do I link this camera to a scene other than the active one?

Thanks
Tom
